How to play Mp4 files on Palm

Archived from groups: alt.comp.sys.palmtops.pilot,comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

I use and download files from the itunes store yet cant play the music
on my Palm Zire 72. Is there a third party option for me? I'd pay the
$30 if it would work.

it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints
and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes
of the heart.

..mp4 is the proprietary iTunes protected format. You will not be able
to play native mp4 files on any Palm unit.

In addition to that, iTunes won't let you convert one of it's protected
songs into a non-protected format.

What you can do, however, is use a little workaround. Burn the
protected tracks to an audio cd, then re-rip them as mp3. Once on the
audio CD, iTunes won't know they are protected anymore, so you can rip
them no problem. While this essentially means you need to duplicate
any track purchased from iTMS, there really isn't any way around it
because Apple won't license the mp4 format to anyone else (it helps
them lock users into buying an iPod).
